Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Dale from the UK, currently based in Italy, is a UX Researcher with 4 years experience working in fields such as the Space, Sustainability and Marketing Industries, and currently hosting the UXR Minds Podcast. His mission is to help new and aspiring UX Researchers break into the field by sharing informative episodes on best practices and trends in the industry. In our conversation, we discuss:* Dale's experience of a six-month job hunt in the UX research field.* The emotional toll of rejections, ghosting, and lack of responses.* Strategies for staying proactive, including networking on LinkedIn and refining resumes.* The importance of maintaining personal growth and mental health during a job search.Dale hosts the amazing UXR Minds podcast, where he dedicates his time to guiding new user researchers or those interested in the field. Highly recommend listening!Some takeaways:* Dale's six-month job hunt highlights the challenges of breaking into or progressing in competitive fields like UX research. His experience shows that even with in-house and freelance work on your resume, securing interviews can be difficult due to market saturation and economic downturns. Regularly update your portfolio and resume to reflect your latest projects, and tailor each application to the specific role to stand out in a competitive market.* Dale discusses how rejection emails and ghosting from potential employers can take a mental toll. He tracks his job applications to better understand response rates and gauge where improvements might be needed. Start tracking your job applications in a spreadsheet. Log the role, company, application date, and any follow-up actions. This will help you identify patterns in your applications and fine-tune your approach* Rather than relying solely on job boards, Dale finds more success by being active on LinkedIn and reaching out directly to hiring managers or heads of UX. This has led to meaningful conversations, which can open doors even if they don't result in immediate offers. Spend at least 30 minutes each day engaging on LinkedIn—comment on relevant posts, connect with professionals in your field, and send personalized messages to hiring managers. When messaging, focus on building a relationship rather than directly asking for a job.* Job hunting can be all-consuming, but Dale advises setting boundaries to protect your personal life. He recommends allocating specific days or blocks of time for job search activities while using the rest of the time for family, hobbies, or volunteering. Schedule job search activities like a workday, with clear start and end times. For example, dedicate mornings to updating resumes and afternoons to networking, then disconnect for the evening. This structured approach prevents burnout and allows for mental recharging.* One of Dale's core messages is to stay true to yourself during interviews and networking efforts. He advises job seekers not to feel pressured to mold themselves into what they think a company wants but rather to embrace their strengths and unique qualities. Before interviews, create a personal narrative around your key strengths and how they align with the company's needs. Practice framing any weaknesses as opportunities for growth, and approach networking conversations with genuine curiosity rather than just seeking a job lead. This makes your interactions more authentic and impactful.Where to find Dale:* LinkedIn* UXR Minds podcast* WebsiteFor inquiries about sponsoring the podcast, email nikki@userresearchacademy.com This is a public episode.

In this episode of 5to9, I had a chat with Ximena Vengoechea, a writer, speaker, illustrator, UX researcher, mother, and lover of fiction.Ximena has always loved bringing design thinking to our everyday world, which led her to spend a decade in the tech industry at companies like Linkedin, Twitter, and Pinterest as a user researcher. During that time she also manifested many side projects such as The Life Audit (which got written about on Life Hacker, CNBC, and INC), while contributing to articles in Fast Company, and many illustration projects. Her side projects led her to author two books - Listen Like You Mean It (which is about building better relationships through listening) and Rest Easy (a book that's about reclaiming rest in our work-obsessed culture.)We talked about her early career, why she's insistent on not picking a lane, the importance of side projects, her experience with burnout and how it led her to write a book, a deep dive into what is rest, why we need rest, how to rest and more!This is Ximena Vangoechea for 5to9.

Tu peux soutenir sur le podcast sur KissKissBankBank ou en mettant 5⭐️ sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify ! Jean-Baptiste est Head of Product Design à Bpifrance. Jean-Baptiste n'était pas destiné à faire du design, car il est ingénieur de formation avec une spécialisation dans les objets connectés. Mais, rapidement, il se questionne sur comment fonctionne une interface. Il se renseigne sur des forums, y découvre les notions d'UX et de design et apprend ces connaissances de manière empirique en autodidacte. Au cours de ses études, Jean-Baptiste comment à faire du freelancing. Il développe principalement des sites vitrines pour des artistes et se pose une réflexion autour de la UI et des micro-interactions. En parallèle, il lance également l'application Hype. L'application sert à trouver les lieux populaires dans toutes les villes du monde. Jean-Baptiste se lance dans ce projet pour 2 raisons : apprendre à concevoir une app sur mobile et trouver facilement des lieux intéressants dans une ville. Grâce à ce projet, il apprend à faire de la recherche utilisateur afin de valider ses hypothèses. Dans cet épisode, Jean-Baptiste revient sur les 4 années de conception de l'app : sa création, sa conception, son évolution et la fin du projet. En plus de tout cela, Jean-Baptiste s'envole vers San Francisco pour faire une double cursus entrepreneuriat, ouvrir un nouveau marché pour son application et travailler dans une agence de design. Après ses études et la crise du covid, Jean-Baptiste rejoint la BNP, en tant que freelance, dans une entité du groupe dédiée à l'évolution de l'expérience utilisateur. Il travaille sur la manière dont la banque interagira dans 50 ans avec ses clients, que cela soit en agence ou via d'autres canaux. Ce travail, bien qu'intellectuellement stimulant, ne sert à rien : les réflexions menées n'aboutissent à rien et ne peuvent pas être testées. Jean-Baptiste met rapidement à sa mission pour cette raison. Ensuite, Jean-Baptiste rejoint l'agence ability et travaille sur la refonte du parcours d'achat de la Cité des Sciences de Paris. En plus de travailler sur le site internet du musée, Jean-Baptiste sera amené à travailler sur les bornes d'achat présentes sur place. Après 7 mois, la mission se termine, Jean-Baptiste quitte l'agence et se donne le temps de la réflexion. Lorsqu'il voit que Bpifrance a des besoins en design. Il contacte la banque et la rejoint pour s'occuper de l'équipe Product Design. Il doit structurer le design, mais surtout l'intégrer dans la transformation de Bpifrance vers le numérique. Dans cet épisode Jean-Baptiste revient sur ce qu'est Bpifrance, comment le numérique aide les banquiers et les entrepreneurs au quotidien et surtout comment il a mis en place une culture design au sein d'un groupe qui n'en avait jamais eu le besoin. On évoque l'évolution de l'équipe de 5 à 35 designers en un an, sa composition (entre Product Designers, Users Researchers, Content Designers, Motion Designers et Illustrateurs), la façon dont l'équipe est organisée ou encore la manière dont les designers travaillent. On aborde aussi l'étroite collaboration entre le Product Design et le Brand Design afin de mettre en avant la marque dans le produit et le produit dans la marque. On parle aussi de l'importance de l'UX Writing pour simplifier le vocabulaire bancaire et le rendre compréhensible de tous. Enfin, on évoque l'importance de la User Research, surtout lorsque l'on travaille pour 3 typologies de personnes : les entrepreneurs, les banquiers et les partenaires de Bpifrance. Enfin, Jean-Baptiste nous explique comment il fait pour démocratiser le design dans une entreprise qui n'y est pas habituée et comment les projets y sont gérés en conséquence.

Ep 159 | ⁠Julian Della Mattia, UX Researcher, ReOps Specialist y fundador de 180 Agency vuelve al podcast para charlar sobre cómo podemos empezar a mejorar los procesos de nuestro equipo de UX al momento de generar algun estudio y cómo Research Ops vas más allá que resolver el problema del reclutamiento de usuarios para pruebas de usabilidad ya que tiene impacto en la nivelación de conocimiento técnico de cada equipo y sin duda ayuda a demostrar el valor del UX a la empresa ----

Dans cet entretien avec Alexandre Ankerly, ethnographe et UX Researcher, Jean-François Poulin explore le mariage entre l'ethnographie et l'UX (expérience utilisateur). L'ethnographie offre une perspective externe cruciale dans les projets numériques, révélant des aspects que les chiffres ne peuvent pas capturer. En observant les comportements et en posant des questions pertinentes, on peut identifier les vrais problèmes et les besoins des utilisateurs, ce qui peut conduire à des solutions plus efficaces. L'ethnographie n'est pas nécessairement coûteuse, elle peut être réalisée de manière simple et itérative pour améliorer les projets dès le départ. Une leçon précieuse : définir le bon problème est la clé pour résoudre les véritables défis.
